Easy Witch Potion Bottles Using Free Printable Labels
We love the idea of upcycling whenever we possibly can. In fact, I had been holding on to the most perfect empty liqur bottles to use for this type of craft and wouldn’t you know it, I tossed them out just one month prior as I was packing my house to move. I remember holding them in my hands and actually contemplating whether I should keep them or give them away. Ultimately, I decided to recycle them after holding on to them for 4 years! What are the chances?
So instead of pretty decorative jars, I found some empty glass jars instead and made do with what I had! Can you tell these are just painted black mason jars?
These witch potion bottles make great decor for a Halloween tiered tray in addition to stacked books from scrap wood, these cutsie burlap Halloween characters, and some adorable mini brooms.

How to Make DIY Witch Potion Jars
The first thing to do is ensure the labels are removed from the bottles/jars. This can be achieved by soaking the bottles in warm water or using a product like Goo Gone to help break down the adhesive.
Preparing the Supplies for Crafting
If you don’t have the perfect bottles to use for this craft, you can transform empty glass mason jars instead! Apply a coat of black glass paint on to the surface and leave it to dry. Once dry, apply another coat of paint for better covverage.
Print off these printable labels in color and prepare them by cutting them out separately. Distress the edges by taking a wet paint brush and ‘dabbing’ the edges. Then quickly ‘pick’ away at the edges to create a rough look.
Using a paint brush, apply the modge podge to the label and affix it on the bottle. Leave the bottle to dry fully before adding any embellishments like faux spider webbing or plastic spiders.
Making the Potion Jar Lids
Now that the jars are ready, it’s time to make the lids look authentic and pretty! Using the hot glue gun, create ‘beads’ of glue on the lid and continue around the lid. Add a cool spiderweb detail to the top as well!
Once dry, paint the lid in a metallic gold color including the ‘beads’ of dried glue.
And with that, these punny witch’s potion jars are complete! Now it’s time to style them on my three-tiered Halloween tray.
